She Built 4 Startups — and Auctioned Her Way to a Global Empire From Japan - Monika Jain

What if the secret to selling your most precious jewelry wasn't a pawn shop — but a globally curated auction where top experts from Hong Kong, Dubai, and New York compete to get you the best price? That's exactly what Monika Jain is building.In this episode of the Produck Podcast, we sit down with Monika Jain, president and founder of My Auctions — a global online auction marketplace for pre-loved jewelry — to talk about her journey from civil engineer in India, to earthquake researcher at Tokyo University, to four-time entrepreneur aiming for IPO.💎 Why a normal marketplace doesn't work for jewelry — and why auction is the only model that makes sense for things with "no price tag"🚫 The office rule Monika enforces without exception: no one is allowed to bring her a problem without three solutions ready👩‍👧 How becoming a mom didn't slow her down — it became her biggest source of drive ("if not now, then when?")🇯🇵 What Japan gets right that India and the US don't (and what Japan still needs to unlock its startup potential)🎓 Why Monika went to Stanford's Executive Program — and the negotiation skill she says every founder needs to masterMonika Jain is a civil-engineer-turned-serial entrepreneur on her fourth company, My Auctions Group — a bootstrapped, globally operating auction house for rare and pre-loved jewelry, with offices in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Dubai, and New York.
